The S2 Cognition Test, used by over a dozen NFL teams to test how quickly players see, think, and react to in-game decisions, has grown in prominence over the years.
This week, that test The S2 Cognition Test, used by over a dozen NFL teams to test how quickly players see, think, and react to in-game decisions, is seemingly destroying C.J. Stroud.
Leaked scores came out this week and former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young scored high on the latest round of tests, joining some past test valedictorians as Josh Allen, Brock Purdy, and Patrick Mahomes.
Young scored 98 percent out of 100.
CJ Stroud has one of the worst scores.
One of the founders of S2, however, says to take all leaked scores with a “grain of salt.”

During an appearance on a ProFootballFocus podcast earlier today, S2 Cognition founder Brandon Ally revealed that he’s aware of the leaks – but urged fans to take them “with a grain of salt.”
“We’re obviously aware of scores being leaked, and we’re not sure where that’s coming from,” Ally said.
“But I will say to take some of those with a grain of salt. We have seen, ‘Hey, so and so scored the highest in the class or the highest ever’ and ‘So and so scored low,’ and it’s like, that’s not true.”
It’s unclear which players’ scores Ally is referring to, however, he did note that, “all the guys in the discussion scored really, really well.”
Brock Purdy, who shocked everybody with his stellar play last season, scored in the “mid-90s” on the test, Ally says, a similar range to Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Drew Brees have landed on the test. Joe Burrow was in the 97th percentile of scorers, he said with the quarterback’s permission.
Ally said that anything over the 80% mark is considered “elite.”
Alabama’s Bryce Young is now expected to be the first quarterback off the board, and some have suggested that Florida’s Anthony Richardson and Kentucky’s Will Levis have jumped ahead of Stroud among quarterbacks.
Just a few weeks ago, it seemed that Stroud was penciled in to go No. 1 to the Carolina Panthers.
Now he may find himself going outside the top-5.
